A nice, quiet & clean hotel with an excellent restaurant that is close to everything, but far enough away. Walking distance to everything in town. Beautiful beach, good shops, restaurants, bank, and fun things to do in town. Nice waves for surfing or body surfing, but not too rough for children and just hangin' and keeping cool.
The hotel staff...

We stayed there from December 29th to December 31st. When we first arrived we were pleased to see we were in the middle of town and a couple of blocks from the ocean. Restaurants, bars, bakery, stores were all around us. Unfortunately, the fair was in town and was right next door. The music played extremely loudly from about 5...

We were glad to have you as guests here at Hotel Giada. On the fair this was the first time that it was across the street from the hotel and Hotel Giada and other hotels in Samara are taking steps to move the fair back to where had it or to move it outside of town.

We wanted to go to Samara to check out the migration of the Pacific turtles and found this hotel on the internet. My husband was unsure about booking it on-line so we stopped to see if we liked it. It was easy to find from the main highway and it appeared clean and accessible. The staff at the front desk...

We checked in at the end of the morning and we entered in a restaurant / pizzeria ! Across the reception was a very small swimmingpool! We were offered a room above the restaurant which turned out to be perfect! Very soundproof sliding doors, perfect airco and cabletv and Wifi in the rooms!
There was a second swimmingpool in the...

We stayed here for one night and enjoyed our stay. The rooms were spacious, with a big bathroom and hot water shower (not a suicide shower). The restaurant was also good. The location is convenient- close to a good bakery, bus stop, and laundry, and only a short walk to the beach. A little pricy for the area, but worth...

We stayed for 7 days at Giada during May 2011. This being the first stay in Samara, we weren't sure what to expect of the accommodations in the area. Giada has 2 pools (1 which seems to be more of a decor for the restaurant), air conditioning that won't disappoint you on the hot days, and is in a great...

After staying at Tico Adventure Lodge for 4 nights, this seemed like a palace. Although Tico Adventure Lodge was cool, the bed there was AWFUL.....(I will do a separate review for TAL), so I was thrilled to be able to sleep without waking up 5000 times in the middle of the night. The staff was always friendly and greeted me...

Made a visit to the hotel during holy week, normally not somewhere I would stay, but decided to try one of the high class places in Samara. Paid $90 per night which is REALLY expensive in Samara, but thought I'd give it a go. The room was OK, it was confy, not big, but it was ok. It was infested...

I stayed here with my husband for 2 nights in March 2011. The rooms were clean and the pool was nice. The breakfast was just ok and the service was dead slow. It's pretty well located on the main street with some cool bars 2 mins walk away and the beach just 5 mins away. My biggest gripe was the...
